MP3DB.pro - Sensor - Naked (2009)

Sensor started as a group in 2005, when Ilya Pavlov (vocal,
keyboards), Andrey Smayev (drums, programming ) and Dmitriy
Kozlov (guitar, synthesizers, back-vocal) decided to try
themselves on the stage. The idea was to gather the best musical
trends of the last 30 years in a single musical canvas. Several
old-fashioned analogue synthesizers, drums, and a PC in small
premises at the car park - such was unpretentious environment in
which the group started to carry out their ambitious plans Soon
after a bass-guitarist Alexey Bogatkov had joined the group, the
quarter finally decided upon its musical concept. Pulsing
rhythm-section, aloof vocal, volatile guitars, up-to date
computer technologies, alongside with old analogue synthesizers
of the past century, - all that became the immediate
constituents of the debut album. Passionate admirers of the
British music, the musicians did not hesitate to choose English
lyrics as wording to their music. An accidental Internet
acquaintance with an American poet Charlie Mason resulted in
their further successful cooperation. Ten musical compositions
recorded by "Sensor" within a year, was the outcome of prolonged
studio sessions held through the Internet in distant parts of
the globe. After several critically acclaimed digital EPs, in
January 2009 Sensor came into the view of indie-label Intuition
which made the decision to published debut album entitled
"Naked" on CD. This work can be described as New Wave or
Pop-rock. Really, it is literally from the very first chords you
can catch the romantic atmosphere of the 80s while masterly bass
guitar sets rate of an album, bringing to mind early Frankie
Goes to Hollywood and U2. For achievement of an original sound,
musicians used the whole collection of ancient analogue
synthesizers, processing them by means of modern devices and
computers. As a result mainly guitar sound constantly is in
harmony with electronic parts in the spirit of INXS and New
Order. Not to miss for every fan of new wave / synth-pop music!
